About Bruce

Meet Bruce! This charming little guy is a 7-month-old Chihuahua who's making his way from Texas in search of a loving foster or forever home. Don't let his small size fool you; Bruce has a BIG personality packed with puppy energy and a love for fun. He’s a playful fellow who enjoys romping around with other dogs and is just as happy to cuddle beside you after a spirited play session. Bruce is excelling in his puppy training. He’s working on potty training, learning to walk on a leash, and has already mastered crate training, sleeping soundly through the night. His foster family will need to take care with introductions to cats and children, as he has not been around them yet. During his time at the shelter, Bruce received treatment for demodectic mange, but his beautiful coat has fully regrown! Neutered and fully vaccinated, Bruce is ready to find a family that will help him continue to thrive. If you’re on the lookout for a snuggly Chihuahua mix bursting with personality, Bruce is waiting for you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
